Wein-Cartoons I
"It was a '67 Chateau Yquem? I say leave it on!"
"Get them whitened? It took me $ 50,000 and
five thousand bottles of Bordeaux to get them this way!"
"Of course I am following orders, dear. Doc said
I should limit myself to one glass of wine a day."
... was für das starke Geschlecht allerdings in der Kombination mit Frauen nicht immer zutrifft:
"Not much - just flushing out my arteries"
Diesen billigen Wein willst
Du verschenken?
Der ist doch voll Scheiße!
Ich wische
die Flasche
vorher ab!
"I remember when
you used to look at
me like that."
"The next time you feel like drinking
Champagne from your slipper, don't wear
open toe shoes."
"Just my husband - he's either shot
himself or opened another bottle."
"Yeah, well, at
least my husband's
not a wine freak!"
Wein ist (bis auf wenige Ausnahmen) gut für die Gesundheit:
"Hmmm, this wine is a lot like my wife:
well aged but still bitter."
"Am I sexy yet?"
"Honey, I meant it as a compliment when
I said you were like a fine red wine... full
bodied!"
"I don't think that's what they mean by reducing the wine."
"I knew you'd like the chili;
I made it with your '45 Chateau Latour."
"You're always complaining that red wine gives you bad breath,
so I added mouthwash to this one really scummy looking
bottle of Chateau La something from '45."
"Aha! Caught you with your 18-year old friend!"
"Jack contracted botrytis cinerea. It hasn't done much
for his looks, but his disposition is a lot sweeter"
Betty used every opportunity to
exercise her pelvic floor muscles.
"He's not much to look at,
but he does have a nose for wine!"
"Sorry, it only has 87 Parker points -
Paul won't buy any wine with a rating higher than his IQ"
"Ah, yes, Dr. Hanisch and Dr. Buerklin - never a co-pay
and always available for emergencies!"
"Is there a Dr. Loosen in the house?"
Nora knew she
shouldn't have had
that second glass of
wine when she spotted
the weight watchers
helicopter following
her home...
"Richard, control yourself!
You're swirling counterclockwise in public!"
"If you really cared about me, you'll swim
back to the boat and get me a bottle of wine!"
Suddenly,
her whole
life made
complete
sense to her.
"I ordered fish for dinner.
Take that back and bring me a white."
"Thank God -
I'm sick of the
Beaujolais!"
"Mother Superior,
we've got a Case of
Syphilis in the
Convent!"
"If you had to give
up either wine or
women, which
would you
choose?"
"Depends on
the vintage of
either."
"If I wrote a prescription for red wine, I'll bet you wouldn't
complain about having to take it five times a day."
"So you think you have swine flu be-
cause you're light headed, have a red
nose, and keep losing your balance?
Sounds more like wine flu to me."
"Second worst reaction to sulfites I have ever seen."
" Would you
care to see the
wine list?"
"No thanks - she
whines about every-
thing. We don't need
a list"
"Wine represents all things civilized. It's an
artistic expression, a manifestation of cultural enlightenment..."
"My dear, you look
radiant!"
"Strange... when I was here with Jennifer
last week they ignored the Riesling..."
"He means nothing to me, darling -
he doesn't even like red wine"
"Don't do it, Alice!
That Bordeaux's from the great year of 1982!"
"Open a wine that will make me want to
watch the shows you want to watch."
"When a wine rates over 90, It's is not alcoholism."
"That's why I hate France -
you cant get a decent cup of coffee!"
"On second thought, Ill have sangria. I had
rosé the last time we buried the hatchet."
"My god - it tickles your nose! Is that all you
have to say about a Veuve Clicquot '21?!"
"Let me guess. You had it up to
here with the world of business,
so you packed it all in and
started your own winery."
"I love these quiet evenings at home
battling alcoholism."
“The loving wife blog”
Entry from August 2010:
Last night my husband said:
I never want to live in a
vegetative state, dependent
on some machine and fluids
from a bottle.
If that ever happens, just
pull the plug.
So I unplugged the electric
wine storage cabinet and
threw out all his bottles.
"I limit myself to one glass of wine per day."
"If he needs blood, doctor - we all have group
Cabernet Sauvignon."
"There are times I worry about him.
He could do himself a nasty injury
with that corkscrew of his."
"By the way, the health benefits of a
glass of wine a day are not retroactive."
"Gisela, machst
du mal 'nen
Wein?"
"Bin ich
Jesus?"
Chez Gisela
Sandra believed that a partner should
be subservient. Especially hers.
"Some wine,
and make it snappy!"
"You said 'Bring something ripe and blue veined
to go with vintage port, so I invited him'."
"She likes her
wine sweet"
"Hold it...there's
something I always
do after arguing
with a waiter!"
"Kann ich auch noch 'nen Schluck be-
kommen?"
"You can at least dry off!"
"Aber Alfred,
Du musst doch
noch fahren!"
"Ich dachte Du wolltest mir
beim Kochen helfen?"
"Tu ich ja."
None for me, thanks. It might improve my mood.“
"Rat mal wer grad in meinen Armen liegt."
"She barely gives the Chateau Haut Brion a chance to breathe."
"I don't care how great the '61 Lafite is, Paul. You opened it in '97."
"Can you recommend something pronounceable?"
